I'm interested in doing a 'budget' WC project at first. So basically, trying to get everything in at the lowest cost possible. Right now, I'm not really interested in 'bling' parts. So, no outrageously expensive but supercool gold plated parts. This is a budget, first time Watercooled build so that I can get my feet wet doing it (no pun intended). The super bling WC build will come later!

In my loop, I would like to include the CPU and the GPU.

I should have room for a 2x120 Rad in a PUSH configuration (pushing Up OUT of the case) at the TOP of the case, and a 2x120 Rad in either Push, Pull or Push/Pull configuration at the BOTTOM of the case.

OR, if I want to keep everything nice and clean, I could use 1x 2x120 Rad at the Top of the case and 1x 1x120 Rad pushing out the BACK of the case.

This is one of the least exspensive kits that I have seen around - its definitely not 'bling'. Its a bit older, but I think it would have the appropriate backplate for the apogee block. You would just need a gpu waterblock and the second rad with fans and some more barb fittings.

Dazmode has pretty good offering of well priced kits: Complete Watercooling Kits You will have get a GPU-block and additional fittings for it. If you aren't in hurry to build the other option is to keep your eye out for deals in buy/sell section. Keep in mind you can always add the GPU to the loop at a later date.
